Hennesey Automotive Group

Hennesey Automotive Group is a small classic car dealership in Sarasota, Florida. Its website describes a selective operation that sells European and American classic cars and works with consignors. The company says it is not a high-volume lot, and the site is written in the voice of dealer principal Andrew Hennesey. It is an independent business and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

Who they are

Its YouTube and Facebook profiles describe a small dealership in Sarasota that specializes in consignment for special, niche vehicles. The site does not publish a founding year. A Florida business directory shows the limited liability company was filed in February 2025. That is a registration date, not a statement of how long the people behind it have worked in the classic car trade.

How the business works

Hennesey works with consignors. Its FAQ says consigned vehicles are professionally photographed, listed with detailed descriptions and promoted on major collector car platforms. No commission, fee or contract terms are published, so an owner should ask for those in writing. Our guide to how classic car consignment works lists the questions to ask before you hand over a car.

For buyers, the FAQ says independent inspections are welcome.

What it sells

The dealer's Hemmings page listed 22 vehicles when we checked on October 23, 2026. Examples included a 1968 MG B, a 1982 Porsche 924, a 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC, a 1971 Volvo 1800E, a 1975 Porsche 914, a 1933 LaSalle 345A, a 1931 Pontiac Big Six and a 1957 Ford Thunderbird. The mix also included newer cars such as a 2008 Pontiac Solstice, a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport and a 2012 Audi A7, so not everything on the list is a classic. The visible asking prices ran from about $10,000 to $67,000. The dealer's own inventory page loads its listings dynamically, so confirm current stock and prices with the dealer.

Buying from Hennesey

• Remote purchases are common: the site indicates most buyers are out of state.
• Shipping help is offered, with open or enclosed transport arranged on request. A banner on the site says it ships worldwide.
• Viewing is by appointment.

The site does not mention financing, trade-ins or outright purchases of cars, so ask about payment options before you commit.

Reputation

A BBB profile lists the business as not BBB accredited, with no rating or complaints visible in the information we read. No review counts were found on Google or Yelp. For a dealer with little outside feedback, do your own checks: confirm the title and VIN, ask for a walk-around video and arrange an independent inspection.

Contact

The company is based in Sarasota but does not publish a street address or ZIP code. The website lists the phone number (941) 587-2081 and the email address [email protected], which does not match the company name, so confirm you have the right business before sending anything. The site gives its hours as by appointment, so call ahead before you plan a visit.
